[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get that she arrived on the scene long after most of the damage had been inflicted, however,
How did she use her power and position to enact restorative justice?   [/quote]

1 As PP pointed out she has no power and no voice.

2 What would you have her do?  For whom?[/quote]

Write an article - find a way to smuggle it past her gatekeepers - about what should be returned to other nations, for example.  Antiquities come to mind.
Express sorrow and regret for all the people they murdered in the past maybe?[/quote]

An apology was given to the Indigenous people in Australia years ago.  Hasn't made a difference.  The issues continue.  It's always one more issue. One thing gets changed and then there is something else to be upset about.  They have been paid,  given housing,  free education,  land rights to government property,  an apology.  They now want the flag changed and the name Australia changed.  At some point the healing needs to start.  I get what happened to them was horrific.  We understand.  Yet it keeps going.  When there is that much hate nothing matters,  nothing will change until they are ready.

I get they would have liked their lifestyle to remain however if it wasn't the British to come in 1788 you can't tell me other countries wouldn't have come and conquered.  This notion is simply naive. [/quote]
